I have had many periods of amusement listening to the TV news readers expound with great authority on the quail-hunting incident in Texas. Some of these "heads" indicated that they had not done much hunting, which was obvious from the absurd comments they made.

Because they apparently didn't have a script to follow, they had to rely on their knowledge (or lack thereof) of firearms. At various times I heard that they were "Quail hunting with buckshot" (no way) or using "28-gauge shot" (no such thing).
